Confirm that you have the following installed:

* .Net 2.0 [X] Yep!

Problem Encountered at Step #: Attempting to Log In "Invalid Key"
Which Program (ASGS/Allegiance): ASGS
What Error Message: Attempting to Log In.
Comments (What you tried, description, etc): Searched the forums... Didn't see anyone else try running it on Parallels 3.0. Direct X 9 is supported and installed. .Net2 is supported and installed. Any ideas?

If all else fails, I do have a PC w/Windows 7 installed and it works just fine. The only issue is we have that set up to our HDTV and the wife is not a huge fan of me playing in the living room.

Anyway, any ideas? I have a Mac Book Pro... Someday I will install Windows 7 on it and see if it'll work... but I don't feel up to dropping the $$ for another copy of 7...

Thanks for your help!

Hmm. I suspect its because ASGS doesn't like you running it on Parallels 3.0 - is that some sort of VM then?

I know players have run Alleg. on macs using Bootcamp etc. (XP should be fine to run alleg. by the way) - but I'm not sure it'll run on Parallels

Yeah, it's a VM thatruns on Mac OS as an app allowing you to run Windows and Mac OS X simultaneously.

I suppose you're right about not liking the VM. I'll keep trying my way around it... If I find anything out I'll be sure to post it.

Wiki link.
To save you time and effort: ASGS will NOT let you log in on any OS run under a VM, as it will not be able to access the physical hardware. It was built that way to prevent ban cisrcumvention using VMs

Either install XP using Bootcamp, or you won't be able to play, sorry
